The control codes for animation, I was told, in a standard vt100 terminal 
from UNIX, are supposedly printed in the environmental valuable 
TERMCAPS.

So, to animate, I would have to use the codes listed in that variable.  
People told me to print that variable out on the screen with printenv.

However, I don't seem to be able to find such a variable in my env, and 
printenv TERMCAPS just doesn't work.  Could anyone lend a suggestion or 
perhaps does anyone have a list of codes for vt100 terminals?  Thanks.
